Turning Kindle 3 into an E-Ink notepad
Hey there,
Thanks for the great resource here. I have previously used the info here to jailbreak and set up ssh on my PW3 and it's incredibly useful. I had the idea recently when I saw a dirt-cheap Kindle 3, that it might be a handy note-taking device. So far I've jailbroken the Kindle 3 and installed the myts terminal. That worked great except the font size was terribly small (not great for glancing at from a distance) and I didn't seem able to change it.. it was already at it's max width limit in the ini file. Some further searching showed me there was a paid app some time ago called notepad that seemed to do as much as I needed. Notetaking with scaleable font size. However it seems like it's either not available in my region or been taken down or both. I wonder if this is archived anywhere and I could install it myself? Or is there a newer terminal that will enable font scaling on the Kindle 3? I'd also like a way of fully disabling the screensaver (so the notes just stay on-screen at all times). I've installed the screen-saver hack, but as far as I can see completely disabling the screensaver doesn't seem to be an option. |

Have you tried the sleep disable KUAL extension?
https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=293264 I don't know whether it works on the K3, but if not it can probable be modified to work. |

isn't there a KUAL addon for note-taking? i have one on my PW4, and usually use it for quick notes (writing down my dreams when i wake up etc.). maybe you could give that a try. it allows you to choose the font & fontsize, to save it as a file you can also open on your kindle from your home screen etc.
it's called "Leafpad". edit: i just hope that KUAL works on a k3.. my first kindle is a pw4 so i'm unsure about that. |
